#LGBT #EqualityDay June 26 Anniversaries: Obergefell (2015), Windsor (2013) and Lawrence (2003)

Today is a big day in LGBT equality. Three landmark Supreme Court decisions have previously been announced on June 26 (2003, 2013 and 2015), all written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, who retired last  year and was replaced by Brett Kavanaugh. Respectively, these cases overturned bans on private non-commercial sexual conduct (Lawrence v Texas), struck down the  Defense of Marriage Act which purported to prohibit recognition of legal same-sex marriages by the federal government (United States v Windsor) and struck down all state laws banning marriages of same-sex couples (Obergefell v Hodges).

Tomoorow is the last day of the 2018-2019 Supreme Court term and some existing cases (on the legality of partisan gerrymandering and pretextual manipulation of the 2020 Census for partisan gain by the Trump administration) will be decided.

Fingers crossed!
